yes you can renew it, but not on visit visa you will have to show your passport along with a valid work visa.

Hi guys,

I am student studying in Bahrain for the past 4 years from Ireland. Over this summer, I went back to Ireland and I passed the driving test there and now I have a full Irish driving licence. I was thinking that if I wanted to rent a car when i go back to Bahrain I would convert it to a Bahraini licence but I am not sure about the whole process because I don't want to lose the Irish licence. Will I have to give up my Irish EU licence if I want to get the Bahraini one? If I get an International driving permit, can I drive on that?

Thanks

Get an international driving permit and you can drive on that for a year (usually how long the IDP is valid for)
If you get a Bahraini license you're not surrendering your other license it's merely used to see what license you have and you'll be issued a local one.
You'll obviously still have your Irish one!! They have no right and cannot take that or cancel that in any way. You just can't drive on it with the IDP
